What the launchpad provides
The launchpad presents the apps a user’s roles entitle them to, as tiles grouped into pages/spaces, with search, favourites, recent activity and notifications. It gives a consistent, personalised home across all Fiori apps and devices, replacing the classic menu tree.
Tiles, groups, spaces and pages
- Tiles: launch apps; can show live KPI counts (dynamic tiles).
- Groups / pages / spaces: organise tiles by topic or role.
- Search & favourites: quick navigation.
Role-driven content
What appears on the launchpad is driven by the user’s PFCG roles, which reference Fiori catalogs (available apps) and groups (arranged tiles). This is why launchpad content is administered through the role/catalog model, and why missing tiles are almost always a role/catalog issue.
Personalisation
Users personalise their launchpad, favourite apps, arrange tiles, so their most-used apps are front and centre, a key adoption driver.
Common pitfalls
- Missing tiles from role/catalog gaps.
- Overcrowded launchpad from poor grouping.
- Ignoring dynamic tiles/KPIs that add value.
